What is a Community Food Bank

A Community Food Bank (CFB) collects and stores food for distribution to individuals and or families affected by food poverty within a local community. The aim is to provide quality, nutritional food to those identified as “in need”.Although the primary aim is to provide food, information on rights and entitlements are shared with service users when appropriate in particular, when it is felt it could address the underlying social causes of hunger.

Food Bank Mission

To work in partnership with local agencies to assist those affected by food poverty and food deprivation within a defined area. Our goal is to always provide an excellent service for those in need while maintaining each individual’s dignity and respect.
